“Dare you learn!”
Duan Youde taunted a few times, then continued, “I gave you the cultivation method, our accounts are settled, from now on, you go your way, I go mine, let’s keep our distance…”
“Ladies and Gentlemen, don’t you want to know what happened?”
Du Gang suddenly stopped talking, picked up a Rune Stone and loudly said, “Look carefully, this is not a real Rune Stone, it’s a fake!”
Having said that, he squeezed it forcefully and the Rune Stone, which was originally divine and mysterious, instantly lost most of its divine brilliance and turned into an ordinary stone.
“What?!”
Duan Youde stared at Du Gang, his face stupefied.
Almost in disbelief, he had just handed over the cultivation method a moment ago, and this guy had duped him.
“Not only that, this guy is carrying a million Divine Crystals, which were swindled from my family, me a legitimate son of the Cloud Drifter Kou Family!”
“What?!”
Everyone present was astonished.
Looking at the Rune Stone turned to stone in Du Gang’s hand, hearing about his identity, their belief in his words rose from fifty percent to ninety-nine percent.
“All together now!”
The onlookers instinctively formed a circle, surrounding Duan Youde.
“Everyone, I ask you to take justice for me. As long as the million Divine Crystals are recovered, my Kou family will be eternally grateful…”
While leaving the encircling crowd, Du Gang also made a deep bow to the crowd, acting as if asking for their assistance.
Ha! Ha!
The spectators sneered unanimously.
Your Kou family’s one million Divine Crystals? Once they get them, the crystals will be theirs!
Duan Youde watched the surrounding public’s indignation and desire surge, the corner of his mouth twitched.
I have dodged countless troubles before, today I have finally met my match! Damn Du Gang, I swear to have my revenge!
“Everyone, this is a misunderstanding. Don’t listen to his nonsense. In fact, I only took fifty thousand Saint Crystals from him!”
“Saint Crystals?”
The people present sneered, “Saint Crystals, you think you can fool us?!”
“Get him!”
Someone shouted, and everyone sprang into action, directly attacking Duan Youde.
Meanwhile, Du Gang took this opportunity to smoothly leave the crowd. He filled the air with laughter as he watched Duan Youde struggling to defend himself amidst the chaos.
This is so satisfying!
At this moment, he felt as if all his pores were open, breathing fresh air. He felt as if he had truly transcended!
Ever since he met Duan Youde, who had tricked him a few times, this was the first time he had managed to turn the tables!
This is how you should deal with this guy!
He secretly thought.
Paying for it this way, next time, he will definitely be after me…
Thus, the next time we meet, it’s better to strike first!
Soon, Du Gang had decided on the manner of his next encounter with Duan Youde.
“Achoo!”
Duan Youde indeed had his ways. Despite facing the onlookers, although he seemed embarrassed, he did not suffer major injuries.
“Damn it, who is this asshole trying to plot against me!”
Hehe, please take your time!
Having disturbed the water, Du Gang didn’t linger around. He walked briskly towards another area.
Inside his inner world, his god was carefully inspecting the cultivation method given by Duan Youde.
“Dead Man’s Sutra” Volume 9: Nine Deaths, One Life!
Dead Man’s Sutra?
Looking at this spooky cover, Du Gang shivered a little.
It was not because he was timorous, but due to the inherent power of this method.
This is a cultivation method comparable to the nines’ secret!
At this moment, an idea grew in Du Gang’s mind.
At his God Spirit Level, there is no way he would have this idea without basis, it was obviously the truth!
“Duan Youde actually gave me a cultivation method like this?”
He was somewhat surprised and puzzled. He hadn’t expected that the man would give him a genuine cultivation method.
Thinking of this, his mind became aflame, yearning to start learning immediately.
But just as he was about to immerse his spirit to observe it, a sudden feeling of trepidation surged from the depths of his soul.
“Cultivate its power, inherit its karma, Dead Man’s Sutra, opens the path to death.”
A hazy voice entered the depths of his soul.
Inherit its karma?
Du Gang was startled. He quickly realized that this means to inherit the cause and effect, just like being stamped as an Ancient God.
So, the issue now was whether he should learn it!
If he chose to study it, he would master a secret method that’s on par with the nines’ secret, but he would also get involved in the cause and effect. This kind of karma was not ordinary and might even be more serious than the one related to being an Ancient God.
If he chose not to study it, then this scripture would be in eternal dust…
Without much consideration, Du Gang made his choice!
“I’ll learn it!”
He was already drowning in depth, being marked as an Ancient God. Adding the karma of the Dead Man’s Sutra would hardly make a difference!
Moreover, he was already on a killer’s hit list. Even if he died, what difference would the debt make?!
Having thought it through, Du Gang didn’t waste any time and immersed his mind in it.
The moment his divine sense went in, there was no cultivation method or mantra as he had imagined.
The previously ancient Dead Man’s Sutra, at this moment, transformed into a beam of light and entered his body.
“Hum!”
The Sound of Dao hummed softly.
The next moment, Du Gang had comprehended the cultivation method!
“Dead Man’s Sutra Volume 9: Nine Deaths, One Life!”
Looking at the secret method that he now instinctively mastered, Du Gang was amazed.
He didn’t expect that learning this cultivation method would turn to be so easy. He had grasped it instantly, just like having a sudden burst of enlightenment.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “What an exceptional cultivation method that’s comparable to the nine secrets!”
The Volume 9: Nine Deaths, One Life that he had learned was a method that could be called godly.
“After death, you can trigger Nine Deaths, One Life. That is, there’s a ten percent chance of rebirth!”
It seems ordinary with only a ten percent chance of rebirth.
However, this death refers to the complete destruction of the divine body and soul!
It means that he is utterly dead, without a trace of the divine soul, no divine body.
The death of just one divine body would not activate Nine Deaths, One Life.
Only when all his divine body and his divine beings are completely dead would it trigger Nine Deaths, One Life.
“Trigger…”
Du Gang fell into contemplation, “This so-called trigger should be a judgment, just like rolling dice…”
Though it could not guarantee a hundred percent survival, ten percent is still a considerable probability!
“Does this mean that if I am erased in the Heavenly Court’s cycle of rebirth, I have a chance to resurrect by chance of one in ten?”
He shook his head, “I can forget about this cultivation method directly, I cannot rely on this, after all, there is a 90% chance of death!”
“Oh well, having it is better than not, at least there is a possibility of a comeback!”
Du Gang didn’t feel regret, although this thing was not what he imagined, and did not directly increase his combat power, but it did give him a glimmer of hope, a spark of hope that he could resurrect if he died in the future!
Meanwhile, Duan Youde, who was roaming in the crowd, suddenly shuddered.
“He actually learned it?!”
This surprise of his was not feigned.
The Dead Man’s Sutra, a common man looking at it once is a sure path to death.
In his previous understanding, Du Gang was an Ancient God with destiny, but whether he was the final one remained uncertain.
Therefore, he did not hold out hope and did not think that Du Gang could learn it.
“If he can learn it, does that mean…”
“Boom!”
While he was pondering, an attack hit his nose, directly breaking it.
“Damn it, who’s the damn bastard who sneak-attacked?!
Duan Youde was furious, cursing while starting to flee to one side.
In his heart, he comforted himself.
“It’s fine. He only learnt volume nine, it’s useless…”
Even though he said that, he was still heartbroken.
Damn, not okay. Next time, I must definitely recover it!
Duan Youde’s eyes shifted, “I must get him to give me the Nine Secrets!”
“Yes, only then can it compensate for the cultivation methods I gave him!”
Watch out, Du Gang, wait and see!
Eventually, Duan Youde ran away.
With his various means, facing the attacks of hundreds of people, even though he seemed embarrassed, his fatal injuries were not many. In the end, under everyone’s watchful eyes, he disappeared without a trace.
“We hundreds of people, actually couldn’t even stop a single person?”
People on the scene, felt somewhat uncomfortable. Hundreds of people fighting one person, in the end, that person managed to escape. This was too embarrassing.
“No, I heard that when the Gloomy Sun Grass comes out, many of the strong people who are well-known on the Human Ranking come over. Why is he still not caught yet?”
“Could it be, that fatty is stronger than the strong ones on the Human Ranking?!”
Duan Youde in the process of the battle eventually revealed his true colors, and everyone saw his true appearance.
“Comparable to the strong ones on the Human Ranking?”
“Could it be, that fatty is a top-ranked existence on the Human Ranking?”
After someone said those words, everyone was shocked, everyone was rendered speechless for a moment, unable to refute.
Finally, a knowledgeable person denied it.
“Impossible!”
“He can’t be stronger than the strongest people on the Human Ranking, the strongest people on the Human Ranking, that’s the strongest group of people facing the whole continent, how could it be him…”
Someone questioned, “But, no one here could stop him…”
“Just because no one can stop him doesn’t mean he’s stronger than the people on the Human Ranking!”
Someone shook their head, “The ones who just besieged him didn’t include anyone from the Human Ranking, not only did it not include the stronger Human Ranking ones, even the ones close to the Human Ranking weren’t there!”
“None? What’s going on, didn’t I hear that many strong ones on the Human Ranking have rushed over?”
“Indeed they rushed over!”
“But, you have to understand a fundamental thing, that is all heavenly treasures have uniqueness!”
“This means, even if treasures like the Gloomy Sun Grass are precious, they are not completely nonexistent on the continent. Some precious treasures like this do appear every few years!”
“However, such treasures possess medicinal resistance, that is to say, any person, eating one is enough, eating more will not have any effect!”
Everyone suddenly understood, “So you’re saying, those top-ranking strong ones might have already consumed this Gloomy Sun Grass?”
“Of course, Heavenly Level cultivation methods, there are over a hundred forces in control across the whole continent, and there is a large number of people who have cultivated the method to 5 percent progress…”
“But, who among those who can enter the Human Ranking is not someone who has surpassed 5 percent?”
“And this time, the strong ones of the Human Ranking who came to our place, are those who haven’t eaten the Gloomy Sun Grass…”
“Apart from these people, there are also many peak-level strong people who have reached the pinnacle in terms of cultivation, progress, supernatural powers, and combat capabilities!”
“These strong people are almost at the peak of the God Spirit Level. They are only one step behind to be on par with the Human Ranking strong ones…”
“The gap between these strong ones and the Human Ranking strong ones is actually just one Gloomy Sun Grass!”
“I understand, those who besieged the fatty this time were not the Human Ranking strong ones… but where are those strong ones of the Human Ranking?”
“Bullshit, of course they went down to the abyss!”
“Ah? But the Gloomy Sun Grass hasn’t matured yet…”
“The grass not being mature is true, but they also have to prevent fools from picking it in advance, or maliciously destroying it, right!”
“So that’s how it is!”
Upon hearing this, people at the scene lost interest in the chubby Daoist and became curious about the Human Ranking strong ones who came here.
“Hey, who knows which strong people from the Human Ranking came here?”
“Yeah yeah yeah, who knows this, I’ve lived this long and never seen a Human Ranking strong man!”
Many people asked this question out of curiosity.
“Hahaha!”
Hearing what people said, some locals, who had arrived earlier, erupted into laughter.
As they arrived early, they naturally saw many people who were entering.
A man in a hurry came to one of the laughing locals,”Big brother, if you know, please tell me…”
“Haha, since you want to know so badly, then I shall tell you…”
“I, Old Wang the Fifth, have been here for seven days already and have seen many figures…”
“Amongst the Human Ranking strong ones, like the ‘All-Consuming Hand’ Ge Jiucai ranked 998, ‘Wealth-Indifferent’ Ma Baoyun ranked 996, and ‘Replica Specialist’ Ma Yiteng ranked 995…”
“These people have already early on reached a position of 800 meters deep into the abyss!”
At this time, Du Gang, who was mixed in the crowd, asked his doubt, “These people, why do they all seem to be ranked at the bottom?!”
Now, the local who was at the center of the crowd and responsible for explaining, said with a smile, “Very simple, those who rank ahead have already gotten the Gloomy Sun Grass, they do not need this anymore…”
“So that’s how it is!”
Du Gang’s question was actually, everyone’s question. Everyone at the scene finally understood.
He then asked, “So among the Human Ranking strong ones who came this time, who has the highest rank and the strongest power?”
Once these words came out, the whole crowd fell quiet instantly as everyone wanted to know who amongst those who came over was the strongest!
“Hmph!”
The local young master did not beat around the bush too much. After making a show, he said the name.
“If we’re talking about the highest-ranked expert on the Human Rankings who’s arrived here, I do know and have seen…”
“That would be Zhao Shanhe, the ‘Heart-Crushing Demon Hand’ ranking 857!”
“Ah! A strong man ranked 857!”
All had to swallow their saliva.
It’s well known that there’s a tier every 100 ranks in the Human Rankings. Between rank 900 and 800, it implies two levels of strength.
“Didn’t expect such a person to come here too!”
Du Gang was praising with his mouth but inside his heart, he thought that with such a person here, Yin and Yang Five Sons should not dare to act recklessly, right?!
He didn’t believe that those Yin and Yang Five Sons would be stronger than these people!!
